We were blessed to know Cathy and her family for 50 plus years. During all of that time, she was always the giving and kind person suggested in her obituary. The radiance of her smile was only exceeded by her joyful laughter. She truly was a force for good and a spirit for joy. Our love and sympathy are extended to Ed and all of the Schuch and Bono family members. Cathy will be truly missed.
Jenny,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom sounds like someone very special.
Margo
Jenny, I am so sorry for your lose. You and your family are in my prayers. God Bless
Cathy was a special person we will miss her very much
I was blessed to know Cathy for a very short time but felt I had known her for many years. Her smile and laugh will stay with me for years to come.
Jennifer, I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting your mom but it sounds like she was a terrific mom, wife, and person. I’m a classmate, teammate and friend of your Dad’s.
Ed, Mary Jo, Christopher, and family. Words cannot express my sorrow at the loss of your wife and sister. So many fond memories as children visiting and playing at family gatherings. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by all who knew her. Words are insignificant when someone we love passes. You never get over it. You just slowly get through each day. Our Lord will hold you in his hands and comfort you in your sorrow. Love, Chickie
Mary Jo and Chris,

Kathy was a sweet and caring person. She was so loved by you and so many others.
We knew her and loved her too. We know you will miss her. We are praying that in the days
ahead, the Lord will give you the strength and peace you all need to get through.
We love you so much, Glenn and Patricia
Peace be with you.
Dear classmate, Eddie and family, my thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Dear Ed and Family,
I met Cathy at Rosary High School in Spanish Lake, Mo. for 4 years. We were each of Italian heritage so we had a special bond. Cathy was a very loving, cheerful, and friendly lady.
As a youngster, my husband lived a few doors away from Cathy and family in Bissell Hills.
So extremely sorry for your loss.
Dee (Petti) & Dick Foster
Ed, Gina and Jennifer,
Cathy was one of the most friendly and caring women I have ever known. We worked together and visited at school events and just ran into each other often, and Cathy just made it feel like a party! There was never enough time to talk about everything we had to say. And no one ever had her infectious laugh. My prayer for you all is that God will wrap His arms around you and you find peace and comfort in the wonderful memories you have.
Ed and family, I’m so sorry for your loss.
I worked with Cathy at Parkland (FCH back in the day). What a happy and joyous person she was, her laughter was so contagious. Fly high my friend, you will be missed & always remembered
Eddie, Jenny, Gina and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Cathy was such a fun and radiant person for us to know and be with through the years. Although my mother Ginger cannot attend the services, her heart is broken with the loss of such a wonderful friend. Peace and healing be with you and your family.
Eddie and Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. May God Bless you all. I am sure Saint Peter swung the gates widely and proudly to admit such a wonderful person into Heaven.
Worked with Cathy at Farmington Community Hospital back in the day. You could always hear her before you saw her-her laugh was contagious! She was such a joy to work with and took such good care of her patients!
